2011? Already?

Another year has blown its self out around me.

I finished stronger then I thought but with less grace.

I am feeling stronger in my family roots-they seem to be growing and taking better care of them selves

I am finding it harder and harder these days to reconcile my finances with those around me.

People seem to forget that I am on a very tight budget and have to turn down a lot of really great trips and plans.

I appreciate the offers, but am finding it difficult sometimes to face facts.

I support Ivy and myself on what I make.

My "extra" money goes towards dentists and tune ups on cars.

My splurges now are on once a month "fancy" meals I make at home and my vacations are, well....

Lets just say realistic.

My life is not exactly as I hoped it was once going to be, but it is in a place of love and fulfilment.

I hope this next year brings with it new challenges and growth.

Happy New year all.
